One Jump Ahead

Gotta keep
 One jump ahead of the breadline
 One swing ahead of the sword
 I steal only what I can't afford
 And that's everything
 One jump ahead of the lawmen
 That's all, and that's no joke
 These guys don't appreciate I'm broke
 Riffraff
 Street rat
 Scoundrel
 Take that
 Try a different tact, guys
 Rip him open
 'Round the back, guys
 I can take a hint
 Gotta face the facts
 Could really use a friend or two
 Huh?
 Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's hit the bottom
 He's become a one-man rise in crime
 I'd blame parents, 'cept he hasn't got 'em
 Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
 Tell you all about it when I got the time
 ♪
 One jump ahead of the slowpokes
 One skip ahead of my doom
 Next time gonna use a nom de plume
 One jump ahead of the hitmen
 One hit ahead of the flock
 I think I'll take a stroll around the block
 Stop, thief
 Vandal
 Abu
 Scandal
 Let's not be too hasty
 Still I think he's rather tasty
 Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
 Otherwise we'd get along
 Wrong!
 ♪
 One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
 One hop ahead of the hump
 One trick ahead of disaster
 They're quick, but I'm much faster
 Here goes
 Better throw my hand in
 Wish me happy landing
 All I gotta do is jump
